For example, “My internship taught me a range of skills such as project management, problem solving and time management.”

NO ONE uses “such as” in normal conversation. So why write it? Oh, I know why…

“Such as” is a classic college move. Back then, we all packed in unnecessary words to appear intellectual and mature, particularly on 10-pagers like “To Tweet or Not to Tweet” (actual term paper topic).

In the real world, fancy shmancy phrases are non-starters and don’t allow the employer to understand the real you. Proper grammar and punctuation always matter, but natural language lets you connect on deeper level.
